Who we are
Balenza & Co is an accountancy and consulting practice built for the hospitality industry. We work with restaurants, bars and cafes, from single independent sites to growing groups, and we provide a bespoke service shaped around how each business actually runs.
Hospitality is not like other sectors. Margins are tight, cash moves daily, and a small change in food cost, wages or supplier prices can turn a good month into a difficult one. We understand that because we have lived it.
Clean books, every day
Everything starts with accurate, up to date records. We keep your books clean day to day, so every cost sits where it belongs: food, drink, labour, rent, utilities, card fees, delivery commission and everything in between. When the numbers are right, the decisions get easier.
You get a clear picture of how the business is performing every month, not once a year when it is too late to act.
Funding when you need it
There are times when a business needs a cash injection: a refit, a slow season, new equipment or a second site. We work with a range of lenders and help our clients secure the right funding at the right time.
We prepare the accounts, forecasts and business plans lenders ask for, and we present your business in the strongest honest light. Because we already know your numbers inside out, applications move faster and with fewer surprises.
Beside you as you grow
Expansion is exciting, and it is also where many hospitality businesses get into difficulty. Whether you are opening a second venue, taking on a concession or changing your concept, we stay next to you throughout. We help you plan it, fund it, set it up properly and keep a close eye on the numbers once the doors open.
